Azimuthal anisotropy measurement of (multi-)strange hadrons in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 54.4 GeV
(2022)
Azimuthal anisotropy of produced particles is one of the most important observables used to access the collective properties of the expanding medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this paper, we present second (v2) and third (v3) order azimuthal anisotropies of K0S, ϕ, Λ, Ξ and Ω at mid-rapidity (|y|<1) in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 54.4 GeV measured by the STAR detector. The v2 and v3 are measured as a function of transverse momentum and centrality. Their energy dependence is also studied. v3 is found to be more sensitive to the change in the center-of-mass energy than v2. Scaling by constituent quark number is found to hold for v2 within 10%. This observation could be evidence for the development of partonic collectivity in 54.4 GeV Au+Au collisions. Differences in v2 and v3 between baryons and anti-baryons are presented, and ratios of v3/v3/22 are studied and motivated by hydrodynamical calculations. The ratio of v2 of ϕ mesons to that of anti-protons (v2(ϕ)/v2(p¯)) shows centrality dependence at low transverse momentum, presumably resulting from the larger effects from hadronic interactions on anti-proton v2.
We report the triton (t) production in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 7.7 -- 200 GeV measured at mid-rapidity (|y|< 0.5) by the STAR experiment from the first phase of the beam energy scan at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The nuclear compound yield ratio (Nt×Np/N2d), which is predicted to be sensitive to the local density fluctuation of neutrons, monotonically decreases with increasing charged-particle multiplicity (dNch/dη) and exhibits a scaling behavior. The multiplicity dependence of the yield ratios are compared with calculations from coalescence and thermal models. Relative to the coalescence baseline, enhancements of the yield ratios are observed in the 0%-10% most central collisions at 19.6 and 27 GeV with a significance of 2.3σ and 3.4σ, respectively, with a combined significance of 4.1σ. The measured significance of these enhancements decreases with smaller pT acceptance. The enhancements are not observed in peripheral collisions and model calculations without critical fluctuation. Important implications on the QCD phase structure and the production mechanism of light nuclei in heavy-ion collisions are discussed.
The elliptic (v2) and triangular (v3) azimuthal anisotropy coefficients in central 3He+Au, d+Au, and p+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 200 GeV are measured as a function of transverse momentum (pT) at mid-rapidity (|η|<0.9), via the azimuthal angular correlation between two particles both at |η|<0.9. While the v2(pT) values depend on the colliding systems, the v3(pT) values are system-independent within the uncertainties, suggesting an influence on eccentricity from sub-nucleonic fluctuations in these small-sized systems. These results also provide stringent constraints for the hydrodynamic modeling of these systems.
